Good morning, all.
Join us today for the final victory lap, the vote to "confirm Samuel Alito, of New Jersey, to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court."
It's all over except the final vote tally.
Lots of surprises yesterday at the HUGE vote to impose cloture, so perhaps there are still some surprise votes to come?

"
or that parent who's seeing the pollution that's taken place in a pond -- in a lake
Hes a good one to talk about things in ponds and lakes."
An understatement!
If ignorance is bliss, these people [?] are happy campers.
Ten million years ago, ponds and lakes were "polluted" and unfit for consumption, by today's standards.
I drink Scotch and occasionally babble. Kenney's problem isn't drinking. He is a mental defective, that would have been incarcerated in a mental facility, as his sister was, had his father known what he would turn into.

Why does "johnensign.org" want to give me a cert every time I load this thread? Good question. I'm getting the same thing.
To: RedBloodedAmerican
Leahy playing the race card, using Scott Kings death against Alito!!!!

I think that he [Hagel] just didn't want to go on record so ducked the vote. He's clearly on the record in support of Alito. News report has him and Harkin traveling yesterday. Destination and purpose unknown, and not for sure they are traveling together either.

Ilove that "Cold Steele" line.
I'm investing in Steele (1) because I think he's great and (2) I want to see him standing beside the little fireplug Mikulski so she can be swallowed up in his shadow.
Got my bumper sticker and I'm ready to go...
